"US ECONOMIC AID TO ISRAEL: WHO BENEFITS? WHY?
Introduction
As the Republican-controlled Congress continues to attempt to sharply reduce the levels of foreign economic, humanitarian, and military aid, the politicians and the American public are increasingly being forced to confront the issue of what the foreign aid policy of the United States should be. Quite mistakenly, many people view the drive to curtail foreign aid and change the criteria of eligibility for such aid as a radical departure from traditional American policies. In actual fact, American foreign aid almost always has been a tool of American self-interest, or at least perceived self-interest. The major exception to this approach to American aid was decade from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s when, through implementation of the ..."

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of aid provided by the United States to Israel with a pro-Palestinian bias. It discusses how, while the rest of the world strongly condemns Israel?s occupation of the Palestinian Territories, the U.S. government provides the political, diplomatic and material means for the occupation to continue at the tax payer's expense. It evaluates how this is causing the rise in hatred towards the U.S. calling for extra suspicion and caution and shows how hate can leave the most powerful country in the world the most vulnerable after the tragedy of September 11.
From the Paper
"Then why does the United States forego its ethical values and support Israel? One reason is simple; the U.S. relies on Israel to test out new military technologies in battle conditions. Israel has cooperated with the US arms industry on research and development for new jet fighters, anti-missile defense systems, and even the Strategic Defense Initiative. The U.S. also requires Israel to use 75 percent of all the military aid it receives to buy U.S.-made arms. This means profit for us, and Israel?s military dominance in the region, in a region already buried in hate and violence. It produces threat for whole the Middle East through its nuclear capacities, but no country in the world other than the U.S. can use this as an excuse to take over the other- such the case with the ongoing Iraq war plans."

From the Paper
"It is difficult to imagine a picture of President Bush laughing with known strongman and terrorist supporter President Hafez al-Assad of Syria (Tumulty, 1990, p. A20). Yet it's just these types of images that have acted to change the relationship between the United States and long-time ally Israel. The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the factors in U.S. policy towards Israel, the causes and effects that policy has within the United States, and ultimate effect on Israel.
In a time when the United States needs friends in the Middle East to stabilize its position, Israel in general remains silent, even defensive (Wicker, 1990, p. A27). It has rejected any attempt to link peace talks between Iraq and the United States with Israel's right to the West Bank in Gaza. While the United States supports this position, there have been other shakeups..."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth analysis of polls taken in the U.S. concerning the State of Israel. It examines several polls and their results as well as their conclusions. It proves that some of the conclusions are wrong and explains what they really mean. It details the limitations and disadvantages of polls in general as well as their advantages. It details the field of market research and how it can help in these sort of cases. It concludes that U.S. opinion on Israel is not perfectly consistent and is greatly affected by the shifting and always volatile situation in the Middle East.
From the Paper
"How do we know what it is that we think that we know? Beyond the philosophical issues that such a question brings up, there are a number of more technical ways to address that question, especially as we enter the 21st century, a period of time in which public-opinion polls seem to rule every aspect of our political ? and sometimes cultural and social ? lives. This paper examines U.S. opinion on Israel -- which polls find to be generally favorable ? by looking at some of those polls after first considering some of the important ways that polls can inform of ? and some of the equally key ways in which polls are limited in their ability to tell us what a group of people actually thinks (www.ccfr.org)."

Abstract
This thesis compares the political processes and parties of the United States to that of the much younger and quite differently structured Israeli nation.

Conclusions and Summary
From the Paper
"The thesis of the first subordinate comparison is to show the historic significance and structural differences between the political structure in the United States verses the political structure of Israel. This becomes an imperative as both nations essentially were formed to sever their ties to British Colonial Rule albeit in different centuries and under differing degrees of historic developments and circumstances."

Abstract
This paper explains that Ali Ansari in "Confronting Iran: The Failure of American Foreign Policy and the Next Great Conflict in the Middle East" paints the current crisis with Iran as a lesson in mutually antagonistic behavior that is demonstrated by the inability of United States presidents, from Carter to Bush, to formulate an effective policy for dealing with this country. The author points out that Dennis Ross in "The Missing Peace: The Inside Story of the Fight for Peace in the Middle East" commends the U.S re-involvement in the Israel-Palestinian problem, introduced in President Bush's historic 2002 speech, which outlined a strategy for peace calling for a two state solution. The paper relates that both Ansari and Ross are strong believers in the power of communication because, as long as all sides to these political clashes are still talking, there is hope for peaceful solutions and cooperation rather than chaos.
From the Paper
"Ansari does not take a particularly optimistic tone about the chances of these changes happening. He is very adamant that they must happen or the resulting conflict will "make Iraq look like the cakewalk it was prophesied to be." . Ansari presents his argument in a very matter-of-fact manner, taking the struggle between Iran and the United States step by step from their first official contact in 1856 all the way into the present day. A very realistic, pragmatic tone is taken that, while not entirely hopeful, does suggest that differences can be bridged."

Abstract
In this paper the author takes a critical look at the changing U.S. policy in the Middle East since 1991. He examines how prior to 1991, American policy was aimed primarily at using some countries led by Israel as a bulwark against communism in the Cold War years. He highlights that with the end of a bipolar world there was a radical shift in American policy towards the Middle East. The paper examines how this was brought about by the threat America saw to its most vital interest -oil in the region as a result of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait; at the same time, with the sudden demise of the hitherto counterbalancing factor, the Soviet Union, the stage was set for a decisive policy. In conclusion, the author argues that the American policy of planting democracy in societies that do not have the necessary preconditions and institutional frameworks of accepting and absorbing the system could mean risking backlashes and other actions.
From the Paper
"In the absence of the Soviet factor, American policy in the Middle East has become more intrusive; American policy could have a positive impact if its moves towards establishing its policy are perceived as being salutary. A prime test case of this policy is the way its role is seen in the Israeli-Palestine issue. (Cantori, 1994, p. 452) The immediate years after the Gulf War led to a hyperactive engagement in the region under president Bill Clinton, for whom resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict was a principal goal. In his presidency, America assumed the role of an 'honest broker' in bringing about a peaceful settlement of issues bedevilling the region. However, before substantial headway was made, a new regime took guard under Bush Jr., under whom the same vigour was not enforced. American interventionism, which became low-key under the new dispensation, has led to suspicion in Arab quarters that America, with its uncompromising tilt towards Israel, has not been the 'honest broker' that it promised to be."

Abstract
In this paper it is shows that the origins of the Israeli/Arab conflict reflect the Jewish Nation, and how American funding helped to build their army. In this manner, the creation of a military helped to oust the Palestinian who now had to leave due to the Jewish presence in the region. The paper argues that by creating a military complex through U.S. support, Israel used their military to validate land acquisitions, which they could not defend. Also, through American military support and training, the Jewish state was encouraged and fostered in its earliest stages through American intervention.
From the Paper
"This political study will examine the origins of the military intervention by the United States in Israel, as well as the economic aid that began the conflict with the Palestinians in the region. By understanding how the United States funds the military complex of the Israeli military, one can realize how the 'conflict' between Arab and Jew was created and propitiated through violence and political struggle between the two societies. The early aspects of the Israeli-Arab conflict in Palestine can be defined from the past financial international military aid America has given to Israel since the 1960s. The growing rate of military aid up until 1982 was of paramount importance to stability in a region with strong ties to American Jewish lobbyists and others interested in formulating a Jewish state since the end of World War II."

Abstract
This paper explores the reasons why many foreigners dislike the U.S for the foreign policy it carries. Topics that are discussed are America's support of Israel, repressive regimes, and its support of U.N sanctions on Iraq.
From the Paper
"U.S support of Israel is undoubtedly the most influential factor in the dislike of America. Israel declared its independence in 1949 and it has since been involved in five wars with neighboring states. Israel plays a crucial role in the Middle East due to its strategic location amongst many of the world?s Arab nations. The U.S has been a major supporter of Israel since Harry Truman recognized it as a sovereign country in May 1948. It is quite obvious why U.S foreign policy has always favored Israel. Factors such as long-standing congressional support for Israel, the clout of the pro-Israel lobby as well as guilt over turning away Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany have caused the U.S to form a strong relationship with Israel."

Abstract
The thesis of the paper is that the U.S. must continue to aid Israel financially. Relying on empirical data and relevant communiques and news articles, the writer supports this thesis by providing the following arguments: Israel is a democracy under terrorist threat; Israel's security is fundamental to the region's stability; aid to Israel maintains a military balance that reduces the likelihood that nuclear weapons will be employed. Major objections are addressed.
From the Paper
"In these difficult times, it is critical that the United States government does everything in its power to disrupt terrorist activity worldwide, while maintaining or improving global stability. It is therefore vital that other countries with similar concerns and interests have adequate military capability. Israel is also a state that is currently engaged in an anti-terrorist war, fighting against guerrillas whose ideology makes them enemies with all who do not share their views, but particularly with Westerners. Notwithstanding the budding democracies of Iraq and Afghanistan, Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East as well as America?s only reliable ally in the region. A secure Israel is essential to stability in the Middle East. Israel?s protection can be insured only if it has sufficient military power to defend itself from terrorism and offer a counterweight to the hostile states in region Considering these factors, the United States must continue to provide financial and political aid to Israel."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine U.S. policy concerning financial assistance to Latin America, through the various U.S. presidencies, from the administration of Theodore Roosevelt to the present day. The plan of the research will be to set forth the principal elements of economic assistance in each succeeding administration, discussing as appropriate the specific policies and programs that have informed such assistance through the years.
As a practical matter, financial assistance to Latin America began in the twentieth century with the accession of Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency. The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, promulgated in 1904 by President Theodore Roosevelt, did not treat the subject of foreign aid to Latin America specifically, but it laid the groundwork for a whole ...

Abstract
This paper looks at the leadership of Israel, where ideological imperatives and their institutionalization have represented an important part of Israel?s evolution. It discusses how Israel?s early leadership established internal and external legitimacy in the new state. It examines the government from the establishment of Mapai in 1930 until the 1977 Knesset elections where Labor, and its predecessor, Mapai, represented the dominant party.
From the Paper
"Even though the state of Israel declared its independence in 1948, modern history started with the Zionist movement founded by Theodor Herzl in 1897. Israel's basic ideology, many of its modern political institutions and parties, its internal and external legitimacy, and the individuals who established had their roots in the Zionist movement. The main goal of this movement was to establish internal legitimacy by creating "a home in Palestine secured by public law? for the Jewish people. They established both internal and external legitimacy as a state by successfully freeing Israel from Britain?s reign and becoming a safe haven for Jews from all over the world."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while the educational systems of the United States and Israel share a number of commonalities in structure and ethnic strife, there are some fundamental differences between the two countries in terms of how education is viewed and for what purposes schools are intended. The author points out that the separation of church and state in public schools in the United States is virtually unheard of in Israel, but both school systems recognize the need to provide for a literate society in the future by providing students with a relevant and timely education today. The paper relates that the general effectiveness of the respective educational systems in the United States and Israel can be considered in terms of the national literacy rates, with both nations achieving high levels of overall literacy; in the United States, the literacy rate is 97 percent, compared with a slightly lower overall literacy rate of 95.4 percent in Israel.

"Schools are unique in any society since they educate and mold the next generation who will then be in charge of how the world will shape up and how these schools will be run in the future. Educators in every country help shape the character and the morality of their students beyond the intellectual and physical instruction provided. An education today must prepare a person for the realities of life, including how to balance a checkbook, answer an employment ad, and how to comport oneself at a job interview. These fundamental skills are just part of a huge body of knowledge which includes everything about a given society and the world in which people live."

Abstract
This paper, through the use of graphs and tables, takes a look at AIDS trends across the USA from 1993 to 2000 and analyzes and predicts future trends and reason for researching it.
From the Paper
"I selected this topic because I thought this would be an interesting topic to look at since my aunt has had AIDS for about 13 years now. I felt it would be intriguing to see what pattern AIDS has taken since it has become very publicized over the past couple of years. As you can see from Figure 1, the number of new AIDS diagnoses and deaths has been decreasing dramatically over the past 8 years. I believe the diagnoses have gone down so dramatically because of the media coverage on AIDS and better education in schools to children and adults. The deaths have decreased due to the fact that life saving AIDS drugs have been developed which can extend peoples lives."
